Chapter 915 Rufas and Osborn
Year 371 of the Seven Lunar Calendar

After 200 years since the capital Heimdall was established, "The Disaster" suddenly appeared from the ground.

——"Dark Dragon" Zero Strider, a terrifying dragon that emits black miasma.

The miasma spewed out by the dragon enveloped the imperial capital, and Heimdall was turned into a dead city.

The blasphemous control of the dragon of the dead wanders around the area, attacking those who are still alive, so as to increase their families. (Resident Evil, School of the Dead said it was great.)
Faced with such a situation, the then emperor Asterius II led the people and courtiers to escape from Heimdall and established a companion capital in St. Yak in the south.

——After a hundred years, Emperor Hector I, seven generations later, decided to recover Heimdall, which had been turned into an abandoned capital.

The area around Heimdall has been swallowed up by monsters and ruled by the Dark Dragon.

Although Hector I led the brave knights to attack, he fell into a bitter fight under the obstruction of groups of powerful monsters. (It is estimated that this should be the most powerful knight order in the history of the empire.)
At this time, Hector I met "Some Existence", the huge scarlet knight--Testerossa.

The Scarlet Knight, who accepted Hector I as his master, used his incomparable strength and countless weapons to enter the abandoned city and confront the dark dragon, the culprit of all.

After an extremely fierce battle, the Scarlet Knight successfully subdued the Dark Dragon, but at a huge price.

The emperor died because of the blood of the dark dragon, and the scarlet knight was also cursed, turning into a "demon with thousands of weapons" - only responding to the blood of the royal family, once out of control, it may swallow the earth All the "blood-red disasters".

In the end, the "Majin" was sealed in a dark place deep underground in the imperial capital.

Then, the disintegrated and abandoned city streets were covered up, a new capital was built above, and the people gathered again.

Today's "Crimson Capital" - the street scene of Heimdall, is a continuation from that time.

Rufas slowly closed a manuscript in front of him, thoughtfully:
"The second section of the "Black History Book", "The Dark Dragon of the Abandoned Capital", if the records in the "Black History Book" are true, then what Duke Kane wants is the third giant knight "Scarlet" Testerossa, who is also the emperor of the empire. The real body of the legendary 'Majin with thousands of weapons'."

"It's really a big trump card. But... it only responds to the royal blood. This copy of the "Black History Book" was given to me by Duke Kane. It is impossible for him not to know. Turning around, he must have the blood of the royal family. It seems that what Li En said and His Majesty Yukent’s statement is not just a simple plan to attack the "League of Nobles."

"Then here comes the question—how did student Li En know about such a secret thing that even I don't know? Did His Majesty tell him? Or—is it you? Your Excellency Osborne."

"Ha ha."

A tax-evading (joyful) laugh suddenly sounded, and the door of the inner lounge suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with broad shoulders and a natural vigor walked out. The unique aura of iron and blood on his body showed his identity. Rumor has it that the late "Iron Chancellor" Gillias Osborne.

He said in a thick but magnetic voice: "This is a small test for you, tell your speculation, Rufas."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Rufas got up from his seat, gracefully performed a noble salute, and watched Osborn sit back in his original seat—Rufas's office was Osborn's original office .

After Osborne sat down, Rufas said: "Your Excellency, it is unlikely that you know, if you know, you can use this 'bomb' in a better way, and you won't be like Li En. Using such a simple and crude method. It is also impossible for the "Association" side. The partner they chose is Kane. I think the information should come from His Majesty. The Kane family may have done it very secretly, but they may not be able to hide it. The talented and generous Emperor Drekels, maybe he secretly left something for his descendants. After classmate Li En told the Kane family's ambitions, I went to check the royal family's secret files. Although I didn't find any direct evidence, But it can also be confirmed that no royal blood flowed into the Kane family after the Great Emperor. This is my answer, Your Excellency, please judge."

"Eighty points." Osborne folded his hands and raised his chin, "Three deductions."

"First, I'm not completely ignorant, but have other plans. Five points will be deducted."

"Secondly, His Majesty may have noticed something, but he will not tell Li En. After all, he is not yet an adult, and he did not show a talent like yours that would make people ignore his age before the civil war. Five points will be deducted."

"It's not you, not Your Majesty, could it be Li En himself?" Rufas was surprised.

"This is the third point I want to say, let's rule out the possibility that Li En has other information channels." Osborne said, looking at the transcript in front of him, "It can be inferred from the "Black History Book" on the table alone. There is no such possibility. Kane has read this book, and I have read it, and of course Li En may have read it too."

"But—" Rufas hesitated to speak.

"You want to say that you didn't see it, how did Li En know for sure?" Osband is so wise and close to a demon, how could he not see what Rufas meant, "It's very simple, your research on that period of history Far less in-depth than him—don’t forget, he wrote such a popular novel as "Epic Lion Battle", and his understanding of that period of history may have caught up with some historians."

"In retrospect, maybe he had this idea when he wrote the book. Although he seems to subvert the empire's tradition of deifying the emperor as a saint, demonizing and clowning the false emperor and several other princes in the book , hoping to create a vivid image to reflect the hard-won victory of the emperor and the saint. But because of this, he can reasonably arrange for several princes, including the false emperor, to leave a legacy for future generations when they lose. The next way out."

"Taking advantage of the spare time when I was 'dead', I re-read this novel and found something very interesting. Before the civil war started, it was mentioned that apart from the concubine's great emperor, other adult princes They all left blood. However, before the defeat of the princes, they all made certain arrangements in advance to ensure that future generations could survive, but they did not mention how to arrange for the descendants of the false emperor, and the false emperor removed the great emperor One of the most emphatically portrayed people besides the saint—don’t you think it’s strange?”

Rufas' eyes changed. Li En, who speculated the Kane family's ambitions from a large number of materials and made a targeted layout, was terrifying. Osborn, who could see Li En's thoughts from a novel, was even more terrifying.

These two—as expected of father and son!
